I had a guy ask me to build him a show truck and he said he had some parts that would just need a little work. Look at what this guy sent me!!!!

Tie rod is on the wrong side of the axle, but other than that it looks like a good start!

Well I am doing a build for a member here but he sent it to me just for parts because that is all it was worth. The genius who built it used 6 leaf springs and mounted them all solid at both ends so it had 0 suspension travel. The truck had no gear reduction other than the trans so I have no idea of what they had planed to do with it. A fast semi with no suspension. The motor wires were attached to the ESC wires by twisting them together and wrapping tape around them and the receiver was mounted right next to the end of the motor so I guess they weren't worried about glitching.

The good news is it is stripped down to never be seen in person again.

That was Joes Prime Mover build ...Never really was a fan with that suspension setup.....Made it to a couple of shows with few runs..Added a pole trailer to it...Like it or not, those rims are hard to come by ..No longer produced by RC4WD
